A WORM in the APPLE

Posted May 11th, 2010 by admin

The people of Tasmania are desperate for a return to democracy and a return to sanity in a world being torn apart by greed. 'A WORM in the APPLE' by film maker David Leigh follows their fight against overwhelming odds.

Australians, like all in the free world, have fought and continue to fight for democracy. The Australian federal government despatches troops to far off corners of the globe to restore, what most of us think is our right.

Tasmania suffers from tyranny at the hands of a corrupt government, propelled by the fuel of commerce. Depopulation of Tasmania’s north east by 2020, for the installation of massive blue gum plantations, is hidden from the world. Toxic sprays from helicopters are causing deterioration in the health of the community, while infrastructure is being broken down and jobs cut.

Meanwhile, the Rudd Government sells the clean green image of Tasmanian forestry, to large carbon emitters, as a way of evading carbon tax.

What Is 'TAP Into A Better Tasmania'?

TAP is not an environment group and is not politically-aligned. We have
fought successfully for 10 years to stop Gunns and the State and Federal
Governments from building a 1.1million tonnes PA pulp mill in a valley
that is home to 100,000 people on the island of Tasmania.

TAP was the
first group to oppose a pulp mill in the Tamar Valley. We were
originally called TRAC which became TAP Into A Better Tasmania. TAP was
also the first community group in Tasmania to oppose industrial tree
plantations.

TAP has prevailed over almost insurmountable odds to
prevent dangerous, corrupt and irresponsible people from degrading the
Tamar Valley in Tasmania. TAP uses imaginative and bold actions to defend Tasmania
from Gunns, their successors and their political cronies. TAP provides a
stimulating informaton forum in the Tamar Valley.
